The IOC will hold hearings in December for the five athletes whose doping samples came back positive in retests from the 2004 Athens Olympics, the final step that could lead to the stripping of several medals. IOC medical commission chairman Arne Ljungqvist said the hearings will determine whether the athletes should be disqualified retroactively and have any medals revoked. Ivan Tskikhan of Belarus, who won the silver medal in the hammer throw in Athens, was identified by the Belarus Olympic Committee as among those caught in the retests.
